The main objectives for this symposium are to share information on user-facility activities and advanced nanofab, nanobio and nano characterization technologies in Asia. The opening remarks was given by Dr. Yasuo Koide as a coordinator of user-facility working group under Asia Nano Forum and concluded by Dr. Ruslinda A.Rahim as co-coordinator. There were six speakers from different economy country were invited such as Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Iran. The first and second speaker from Japan, Dr. Uchibori from NIMS shared on Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology (ARIM) activities, action plan and ARIM business model on ‘Hub and Spokes’. Meanwhile Dr. Tsuchiya from Kyoto University shared their nanotechnology facilities and gave an example on the mechanism of ARIM business model operated lead by Kyoto University as a Hub and collaboration with other universities as a Spokes. On the other hand, Prof. Dr. Rafie Johan from Malaysia as third speaker was sharing NANOCAT functionality, achievement and contribution towards R&D nanotechnology facilities, scientific communities and nation. The forth speakers, Dr Pavadee and Dr Deanpen both from NANOTEC Thailand shared their roles to add value to four major industries such as agriculture and food, energy, materials and biochemicals, digital and electronics and health and wellness. NANOTEC Thailand also shared their recent user facility network project between Japan-NANOTEC. Dr. Persia Ada Yro from Philippines shared the role of Industry Technology Development Institute under Materials Science Division that focusing in Advanced Materials, Special Materials and Surface Engineering. Philippines also actively participates in Nanosafety activities whereby currently there is Philippines 70 National Standards on Nanotechnology. Last speaker was Mr. Mojtaba Nasab from Iran High Tech Laboratory Network shared on their establishment on Laboratory Network in Iran or so called LABSNET. It has 280 institutes/research center, 8 Technology Park/Incubators, 516 Private companies and 667 universities were listed under this network.

January 29 – 31, 2020 Tokyo, Japan

Asia Nano Forum exhibited at the Japan nanotech 2020 on Jan 29-31, and also ANF organized the first Executive Committee (ExCo) meeting of 2020 on Jan 29, and had Asia Nano Forum Nanotechnology Commercialization Workshop on Jan30.

The ANF booth took up posters for introducing exciting nanotechnology R&D, policies and activities from each working group and Korea. This event presents excellent learning opportunities for our participating members to learn the state of the art nanotechnology development but also an unique partnership opportunity as well.

The ANF ExCo meeting was very well participated by most of its members and observers from 8 organizations including Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand. The meeting reviewed ANF activities and the financial report in 2019. Our schedule including the summit 2020 was elaborated as well.

Moreover, we collaborated 2nd German-Japanese Nanotechnology Commercialization Workshop in the afternoon on Jan 29. In this event, Center for Research and Development Strategy of JST and Cluster Nanotechnology/Nanoinitiative Bayern GmbH arranged programs for introduction of University Nano startups in Japan.

The 3rd EU‐Asia Dialogue on Nanosafety: Occupational Exposures to Manufactured Nanomaterials (MN) and Waste Disposal respectively was held on 18 March 2019, at Pullman Bangkok King Power Hotel (Rangnam) during the ASEAN Next 2019

Nanotec(Thailand) organized 3rd EU‐Asia Dialogue on Nanosafety which was held at Pullman Hotel(Sol Rangnam)in Bangkok. Over 70 participants from 16 nations attended the dialogue. The aim of the “Asia- EU dialogue” event is to exchange of information, knowledge and experience as well as sharing between the major players from EU and Asia.

The decision to focus on Occupational Exposures to Manufactured Nanomaterials(MN) and Waste Disposal at the 3rd EU‐Asia Dialogue on Nanosafety stems from the discussion held between OECD and CDC- The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health(NIOSH) program which gives Importance to life cycle assessment of exposures to nanoparticles by manufacturers who use nanoparticles to produce consumers ‘goods including waste disposal. It was agreed that these workers are the front line to receiving maximum exposures to nanoparticle.
